The Other Realms: Are we alone?

This question has been posed to scientists for decades, but only in reference to the physical universe, or the universe we can see. As a Wiccan, one of the things that fascinate me is the different planes of existence, parallel worlds and their inhabitants; the invisible creatures that tend to nature and that man have written about for centuries. This includes elementals, spirts, Fae, and the list goes on and on.

Now I know the majority of the public don’t believe in such things, and that’s fine but answer this, if they didn’t exists why do we keep referring to them? Why do they still, after all this time stay in the minds of humans? Even with all our technological advances and science, we still do not know the extent of our world or all its secrets, so why is it so hard to believe that these other realms do exist? And with them, creatures that we only know from myth and lore?

I believe in an afterlife, so it’s not a hard leap to believe in creatures such as elementals or Fae. When I set out to explore this topic, I found that there is so much more to the unseen world than I originally thought. What started out as a short blog post has turned into something much more and I am thrilled at the amount of information I’ve gathered so far.

I understand the five basic elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Ether (spirit) and the idea that there are creatures that are so connected with their representing element that they hold sway over it. If you’re interested, this link is to a list of elementals and an explanation to what they do.

I have also wondered why these creatures play such a big part, in one form or another, in every culture on Earth. The recent discoveries of the existence of ancient “small people,” (in more than one place on the planet) who co-existed with other earlier forms of humans, is a compelling argument that these are our fairies, elves, leprechauns, etc. They are part of our stories because they lived with our ancestors. I think there are probably many other species we have yet to find the evidence for.

Whether these species exist in an after-life or another realm is something I don’t have an opinion about. I lean more to thinking that they were actual human variants sharing the planet with us. In that regard, they are probably now extinct – or more accurately, absorbed into homo sapiens, just as the Neanderthals were.
